how to make 1/2" piece flat?

admin

I got my 2x3' piece of 1/2" steel for my table, but it has a slight belly in it. What is the best way to straighten it out? Make the table from 1/4" angle iron and lay the plate on it and clamp and weld? thanks.
Reply:We discussed this a while back. Yes lay the plate with the bow facing down. Square one end and weld it down. Then use clamps and work your way to the other end making welds. Once you get to the end you should have the bow worked out. Good luck!Patriot Performance AutoLincoln Power Mig 255CLincoln AC-225 StickVictor Journeyman O/AQuincy QT-5 Compressor
